~Fonts~

[Chris King]

I know that there have been initial discussions over the number of words etc
printed in each book from the Harry Potter series.

But I was trying to find out what font/size/style etc was used in the books
for the normal text?
I dont have access to my books when I write this, so if anyone can give me
this info, it would be great?
Also was the same font/style/size used on all books, and was more than one
font used?

The colophons are printed on the last page of the books. As I recall (I
don't have the books in front of me either, but I'm a font guy), the
first 5 books were Adobe Garamond 11.5 point and the last one was Adobe
Garamond 12 point.

I am based in the UK, and checking the hardback book of HP and the HBP,
there are no fonts mentioned on the opening preface from Bloomsbury (except
edition number and other copywright info) there is also nothing on the
ending/end pages either.

Adobe Geramond (spelling?) in the USA'n versions. You don't say where
you are.

Pretty sure it was the same through all 6 so far.
